This study aimed to examine self-efficacy as graduate students gained clinical skills during an intensive international cleft lip and palate (CLP) clinical practicum. A total of 17 graduate students in the Communication Sciences and Disorders program at Teachers College (TC), Columbia University, participated in a CLP clinical practicum for 5 days and completed a self-efficacy survey that measured their confidence in evaluation, treatment, and professional behavior at the beginning and end of their CLP clinical practicum. Clinical supervisors answered questions regarding graduate students’ performance at the end of their CLP clinical practicum. A significant pre-to-post-practicum group effect was found for all dependent variables under the self-efficacy evaluation and treatment categories. Supervisors’ perceptions of students’ initial performance and progression were overall consistent with the students’ ratings of self-efficacy. This intensive practicum program for CLP may be an effective way to increase graduate students’ experiences in working with children with CLP.

这项研究的目的是检查研究生在强化的国际唇left裂（CLP）临床实践中获得临床技能的自我效能。哥伦比亚大学师范学院（TC）的传播科学与障碍课程的17名研究生参加了CLP临床实习5天，并完成了一项自我效能调查，以衡量他们对评估，治疗和专业的信心在CLP临床实践开始和结束时的行为。临床主管在CLP临床实习结束时回答了有关研究生表现的问题。在自我效能评估和治疗类别下，所有因变量均在实习前至实习后具有显着的群体效应。主管对学生的初始表现和进步的看法总体上与学生对自我效能的评价一致。这项针对CLP的强化实习计划可能是增加研究生与CLP儿童合作的经验的有效方法。
